Table 38. Element order in connection with relativisation strategies in Genesis.

Strategy V-final V-prefinal V-early total

pronoun type  4 (17.4%) 16 (69.6%)  3 (13.0%) 23

pronoun & particle type 11 (61.1%)  4 (22.2%)  3 (16.7%) 18

particle type 66 (66.7%) 31 (31.3%) 2 (2.0%) 99

other  3 (42.9%)  3 (42.9%)  1 (14.3%)  7

no overt relativiser   1 (100.0%) 0 (0.0%) 0 (0.0%)  1

As can be seen, there is a very strong division between the clauses using the pronoun strategy and the other two major subtypes. Among the pronoun se-type, the great majority of clauses are V-prefinal like (109). By contrast, in the particle type as well as the pronoun-and-particle type, the V-final order prevails. (110) and (111) are typical examples of the two subtypes.
